Snowy, Beautiful Tahoe

We braved the weather for another fun-filled weekend in Tahoe. All three families were there, which turned out to be o.k. - I mean 6 adults, 6 kids and two dogs in about 1500 sq. feet...if you started thinking about it, it might scare you, too! Each family was busy getting ready for skiing, skiing, or out and about, so the chaos was pretty limited!


Wyatt had his first official ski lessons at Tahoe Donner. They were great! He did one on Saturday and another on Sunday morning. Saturday the TD Lodge had a children's carnival going on, so it was great fun for Annabelle and a good way to pass the time while we waited for Wyatt to finish his lesson. I think Annabelle must spent over an hour in the jumpy house! Guess what?! That night? Night terrors, of course...no nap an hours of jumpy-housing, one could only have predicted it. At least we know the formula for it, and what to expect. Too bad everyone else had to hear it all...



The weather was beautiful on Saturday - bright blue skies. Sunday is started snowing buckets again, so we high-tailed it out of there right after Wyatt's lesson. I've had ENOUGH of the white-knuckled snowy driving for this winter!!!

At the carnival...nice flamingo-bracelet!!!

How fun does this look! Look at the picturesque background!!!

Riding up the hill in the snowmobile pulled sled! This was Saturday, when Wyatt started in the yellow group.



Who could pass up some free ice cream?! She's definitely her mama's daughter!!! Also, a good way to pass the time...

Heading up the "magic carpet"...soooooo much better than the old rope-tow!

Look at that great form!!!


Sunday morning, waking up with the cousins! Look at all of those kiddies!!! Maile is the only one not in this picture.


Annabelle got to try out the skis on Sunday!


Looking good!!!


Some things never change...her tongue is still hangin' out of her mouth!!!
Wyatt graduated out of the yellow group and spent his lesson on Sunday in the orange group! He was VERY excited about this!!! His form looks good, but he's not looking ahead of him!!!!
I think the instructor is heading over to help Wyatt out!
Uncle John and Jackson came over to watch Wyatt's lesson, too!
